Autoelectro’s Nick Hood delivers monthly column
Published: 25 January, 2018
Autoelectro’s UK sales manager Nick Hood is now communicating directly with customers via a brand new monthly column, ‘Nick Says.’
Subscribers to Autolectro’s bulletins will automatically receive the new e-shot, which looks at industry hot topics, as well as key developments from the company’s Bradford remanufacturing facility.
In his first column, Nick asked: “What’s the real price of old core?”
He also took a trip down memory lane, as he revisited some crucial moments throughout 2017, illustrated some key range introductions and how Autoelectro has embraced new technologies. He also revealed his thoughts about what he and the automotive aftermarket can expect throughout the next 12 months.
If readers have any questions that they would like to ask Nick, they are encouraged to send them to him directly – at sales@autoelectro.co.uk with ‘Nick Says’ in the subject header – and he will choose the best of them to answer in forthcoming columns, which will be delivered straight to their inbox.

- Eurorepar launches Service Plan
Eurorepar Car Service (ERCS) has launched a new Service Plan payment option that allows customers to spread the cost of their next two services and MOTs using direct debit payments. The ERCS Service Plan also incentivises garages by offering £20 for every plan sold.
According to Nick Taylor, Head of Network and Business Development for Eurorepar Car Service, with traditional payment and its Drive Now Pay Later scheme, the new Plan completes the company’s ‘three ways to pay’ strategy: “The launch of a Eurorepar Car Service Plan is another prime example of the customer-centric approach at the heart of the network. Customers of ERCS now have three ways to pay, and this flexibility will help drive footfall to our garages and improve customer retention. We encourage all centres to take full advantage of this new business tool and look forward to seeing the positive impact it has on our members’ profitability and customer satisfaction”.
To support use of the system, ERCS’ Service Plan partner, EMaC, will be hosting online training to ensure that ERCS centres get the most out of the initiative.
